Summary, Etc. "The award-winning, bestselling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait returns with a soaring historical novel set in Ireland in the years before and after the Great Hunger"-- Provided by publisher.
Summary, Etc. In 1865, surveyor Tomas and his ten-year-old son Liam travel a remote Atlantic peninsula as part of the British Ordnance Survey's effort to map Ireland after the Great Hunger. Determined to preserve evidence of the famine's devastation in his work, Tomas becomes psychologically altered after a disturbing encounter in a woodland copse. As British officers approach expecting the survey's completion, Liam must confront his father's unraveling and attempt to guide them home. Set against the legacies of famine and colonial rule, the novel explores memory, survival, family separation, and the persistence of history in the Irish landscape.
